The controversial Famine Song sung by some Rangers fans is racist, appeal court judges have ruled.
The Justiciary Appeal Court upheld a conviction against William Walls over his conduct at a Rangers away match against Kilmarnock last year.
The 20-year-old's defence counsel, Donald Findlay QC, had argued the song was free speech.
But Lord Carloway said the lyrics called on people to leave Scotland because of their racial origins.
Walls was found guilty of breach of the peace, aggravated by religious and racial prejudice, at Kilmarnock District Court in December.
The offence related to his behaviour at Rangers' away match at Kilmarnock on 9 November, where he sang the Famine Song.
(Famine Song lyrics) are racist in calling upon people native to Scotland to leave the country because of their racial origins
Lord Carloway
Rangers has asked fans to not to sing the song, which refers to the famine that killed an estimated one million people in Ireland in the 1840s.
Last month, Walls launched a appeal against his conviction.
He was represented by Rangers' former vice-chairman, Donald Findlay, who resigned from the Ibrox club in 1999 after he was filmed singing sectarian songs.
During the appeal, Mr Findlay argued that a football match was "an organised breach of the peace" and for many supporters "an exchange of pleasantries in the form of abuse is part and parcel of going to the game".
He also argued that the Famine Song - which contains the chorus "the famine is over, why don't you go home" - was not racist, but an expression of political opinion permitted under the European Convention on Human Rights.
Offensive sentiment
But Lord Carloway, who heard the appeal with temporary judges Alastair Dunlop QC and Brian Lockhart QC, said: "Presence inside a football stadium does not give a spectator a free hand to behave as he pleases. There are limits and the appellant's conduct went well beyond those limits."
Referring to the Famine Song, the senior judge said: "The court does not consider that the lyrics of this refrain bear any reasonable comparison to those of 'Flower of Scotland' or indeed 'God Save the Queen'.
"Rather they are racist in calling upon people native to Scotland to leave the country because of their racial origins. This is a sentiment which... many persons will find offensive."
Lord Carloway added that the appeal judges had no difficulty in accepting the sheriff's conclusion that singing the song's chorus "displays malice and ill-will towards people of Irish descent living in Scotland".
Now you can eff off

So because they sing a song, I am not allowed to prefer them to Celtic? I liked Rangers more than Celtic before I even started talking to you.
Instead of arguing on the forum, and embarrassing ourselves, do it over MSN where no-one else can read it, or do you just like to make a big show of yourself?

Of course Celtic have never sung an offensive song 
I agree with Ed's assessment that Rangers are the worst of the lot, many of their fans are animals but Celtic's supporters aren't totally innocent.

SO YOU DO know each then. Then quit ruining this forum and piss off, excuse my french but both of you are pathetic.
Oh and singing IRA songs also to me equals scum of the highest order. Singing about groups who kill innocent people, doesn't make you big men, it makes you a pathetic piece of shit. Not you per se but celtic fans in general.

I like Celtic actually I don't mind them as a club though with an idiot like you as a supporter that is waning.
I didn't say you were the only club to sing these songs, but I said it makes you pathetic to sing it. 2 seasons ago? I heard it last season.
I am not an english idiot, in fact I have more scottish blood in me than english.

Pro-IRA singing at the game at Tannadice was widely reported in the Scottish media.
